Golf Holidays in Hawaii
Visitors to Hawaii can expect to see cascading waterfalls, towering mounts and cavernous ravines, while the burgeoning reputation of golf on the islands is testament to developments like Turtle Bay and Kapalua, now a well established PGA Tour venue. Island golf is among the most spectacular in the world, and Hawaii’s volcanic rocky outcrops set a remarkable backdrop. Amid the exotic palms, Hawaii’s luxury resorts are unsurpassed, where first class service is off-set by the chilled out atmosphere of the islands, explaining why Hawaii is such a popular destination.
The land of the Hula is America’s Pacific enclave, whose five main islands are an exotic haven, underpinned by the renowned hospitality of the Hawaiian people. Maui, Hawaii (known for convenience as the Big Island), Lana’i, Oahu and Kauai each have a distinct character, but all are known for their stunning Pacific coastlines and the rugged beauty created by their historic volcanic activity.
The Kapalua Resort is home to 2 championship golf courses, with the Plantation Course hosting the annual Sentry Tournament of Champions on the PGA Tour, inviting only the previous seasons Tour winners.
Poipu Bay previously hosted the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, where Tiger Woods won 7 out of the 8 events that were held. Poipu Bay is set right on the coast for some of the holes with incredible ocean views.
The Ocean Course at Hokuala is regarded as one of the most beautiful golf courses in Hawaii, with unparalleled views over the Pacific Ocean and lush, tropical surroundings, producing a truly world-class golf destination.
Incredible beaches come hand in hand with the phenomenal islands in Hawaii, so relaxing on the beaches or taking to the waves is a great way to spend your spare time when visiting. Surfing, snorkelling, windsurfing are some of the few watersports you can enjoy whilst in the clear blue waters in Hawaii.
Aside from the amazing beaches and dramatic coastline, inland you can experience helicopter tours over the islands to get an aerial view of Hawaii. For those who are not a fan of heights, you can take a Horseback Tour instead to explore Hawaii from ground level. Visiting the local farms, or shopping at the farmers markets is also a great way to see more of Hawaii culture and the local food.
The views all across Hawaii are something to remember, and apart from the Helicopter and Horseback Tours you can take, you can also climb yourself to the best viewpoints from hiking to the highest points of the mountains to take in the incredible scenery. Sunset cruises are also available to be able to check out the superb landscape during the most scenic time of day.
With Hawaii broken up over multiple islands, it’s only a short drive to get around your destination, or jump on a domestic flight to get between the different islands if you are looking to explore more of Hawaii.
